Rebuilding after major pelvic cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at reconstruction (how tissue is rebuilt) after very large pelvic cancer surgeries. It may help teams improve the options and support for people having these operations and recovery experiences.

This study follows people who have advanced pelvic cancer surgery that removes more than one pelvic organ. It’s an observational study, meaning it mainly collects data to help improve how future surgeries and care are planned.
This study compares different ways to rebuild the pelvic, perineal, or abdominal area after surgery for cancer or chronic inflammation. It aims to find which method works best for patients like you.
This study tests a new way to repair the pelvic floor and wound after surgery for rectal cancer. It may help patients heal better after a procedure called ELAPE (a type of rectal removal).
This study follows people who have pelvic reconstructive surgery using a trans-vaginal mesh to learn about possible complications over time. It may help improve care by tracking outcomes for up to 36 months.
This trial tests if pelvic floor exercises can help patients recover bowel and bladder control after surgery for rectal cancer. It may improve your quality of life after a low anterior resection.
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
